I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Citi (London, England) in Nov 2021
Interview
Overall a very smooth interview experience. Consists of the usual online tests/CV overview followed by two rounds of interviews. The first round involved two interviewers discussing the CV, general competency and a few technical questions. They are aware that most of those applying will not have any direct experience in the industry, so questions are tailored for that. The second round involved a presentation as well as two further competancy-based interviews. It was very easy to get in touch with the recruiter to ask questions. Once again, overall a very pleasant experience.
